Let’s begin at the beginning: God is the ultimate reality. This is dramatically made clear when God and Moses defeat the Egyptians–even clearer when God, through Jesus of Nazareth, defeats death. God is free and purposeful and relentless for the cause of love, because “God is love.” This love, this peerless force, is correcting over time, and with our partnership, everything that is not love. The highest and best use of our lives is to co-create and enlarge with God, justice, compassion and joy on earth. This is where we start in 2019. Have a purposeful New Year!
